Description
2024, 12″ EP, Phonogramme.
Fresh from fine outings on Razor N Tape Reserve, Royal Oak and Nervous Chill, prolific producer Felipe Gordon makes his bow on French label Phonogramme. While the Colombian producer made his name with a jazz-funk-flecked brand of warming deep house, these days his EPs tend to showcase more subtle variety. That’s certainly the case here, as he first gives his take on Latin-flecked jazz-house (the superb ‘Who’s Gonna Be’, which makes great use of vintage female vocal snippets), before flitting between gorgeous, piano-laden deep house (the similarly jazzy, sample-heavy ‘Wait On You (Say Goodbye)’), bluesy deep house haziness (‘Keep Doing What You Love’), and hypnotic excellence (title track ‘Phasing The Shit’, where warped electronic motifs, woozy chords and crispy cymbal hits catch the ear).
